Canned Laughter is an experimental, multidisciplinary project that looks for humor in times of crisis. Forms of humor that won’t make you roar with laughter, but rather make you feel uneasy or uncomfortable. Irony, sarcasm and cynicism are obvious examples. Comedy and crisis seem to have built up a special bond throughout history. Laughter can be seen as the flip side of fear in a period of economic crisis. Comedy becomes a welcome antidote to the precarious conditions of everyday life and the stress and uncertainty that come with it.
